(a) Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 65-4117 and amendments thereto or in this subsection (a), no schedule I controlled substance may be dispensed.  The board by rules and regulations may designate in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (a) a schedule I controlled substance as a schedule I designated prescription substance.  A schedule I controlled substance designated as a schedule I designated prescription substance may be dispensed only upon the written prescription of a practitioner.  Prior to designating a schedule I controlled substance as a schedule I designated prescription substance, the board shall find:  (1) That the schedule I controlled substance has an accepted medical use in treatment in the United States; (2) that the public health will benefit by the designation of the substance as a schedule I designated prescription substance; and (3) that the substance may be sold lawfully under federal law pursuant to a prescription.  No prescription for a schedule I designated prescription substance may be refilled.

(b) Except when dispensed by a practitioner, other than a pharmacy, to an ultimate user, no controlled substance in schedule II may be dispensed without the written prescription of a practitioner or a mid-level practitioner. In emergency situations, as defined by rules and regulations of the board, schedule II drugs may be dispensed upon oral prescription of a practitioner or a mid-level practitioner reduced promptly to writing and filed by the pharmacy.  No prescription for a schedule II substance may be refilled.

(c) Except when dispensed by a practitioner, other than a pharmacy, to an ultimate user, a controlled substance included in schedule III or IV which is a prescription drug shall not be dispensed without a written or oral prescription of a practitioner or a mid-level practitioner. The prescription shall not be filled or refilled more than six months after the date thereof or be refilled more than five times.
